Easter will be here soon and I know there are new parents, grandparents, aunts, etc that are asking themselves “What do I put in a Babies 1st Easter Basket”. Well, this will be my granddaughter’s first Easter and I have been trying to figure that out too! I mean I already have the stuffed bunny, but what else can I get? So I put together this helpful 1st Easter gifts list.
She’s only 8 months old, so she’s too young for candy and even if she was at the age for candy, I wouldn’t want to give her a lot of candy! So I did some research and started to figure out that this would be easier than I first thought! LOL Here are several items you can add to any Babies Easter Basket or Toddlers Easter Basket that they will LOVE!

Helpful Gift Ideas For A Baby 1st Easter Basket
First thing is that I highly recommend that you do not use the Easter grass, Ribbon or Cellophane. Babies and toddlers will want to grab it and put it in their mouths, it’s nothing but a hazard. Instead, use some crumpled up tissue paper in pastel colors as an alternative to the grass and don’t wrap it.
10 ideas for Baby
- Bibs.
- Booties.
- 1st Easter nick knack.
- Books~ Chunky board books in Easter or spring themes make nice gifts and can withstand teething babies.
- pacifier and paci holder.
- cute hair bows for a girl with hair.
- tub toys.
- Easter toy or animal. like Luffie Lamb from Precious Moments
- Toys such as rattles, keys, or teething rings are classics.
- A CD of soothing lullabies or lively playtime music would be a nice touch.
12 ideas for 6 months and up!
- First of all there are those adorable, fluffy, loveable stuffed animals! Of course you want to get the classic Bunny, Lamb or Chick, but I’ve seen FROGS too!
- Easter themed toys {hopping bunny maybe}.
- Their favorite snacks! Gerber has some yummy snacks for your baby.
- If they are outgrowing clothes, get them a couple of nice outfits or maybe some shoes or socks.
- Tub Toys! My grand daughter loves to play with her rubber ducks and foam toys.
- If they’ve outgrown their hooded towel, get them a beach towel or maybe a different hooded towel?
- Outdoor toys~ Spring is in the air, maybe a toy garden set or tool set.
- Sippy Cup.
- Teethers
- A brand-new baby spoon or fork.
- New Plate/Bowl set in their favorite cartoon.
- 1 Real Egg ~ If they are old enough to eat one.

I’m a Gramma to a beautiful, funny, smart little girl who was born in July of 2014. She’s the joy of my family and I’m so very proud to be a gramma (an alternate spelling for grandma)! I am a coffee, music, movie and outdoor lover! My family and I love picnics, festivals and concerts. Spending time with my family is the best part of my life. I love my job as well! Blogging and product reviewing has given my family and I a lot and I have also learned a lot and made a lot of friends.
Love this post. I’ve done many baby baskets with similar items.
